TSGL: IE6 download

[Mike Ferrell]

Don,
Wish I could help, but I can't.  However, I noticed you're sticking with IE6 
instead of IE7.  I recently updated to IE7 and could never get connected to 
the web after that.  Not a single favorite or link would work.  After trying 
repeatedly for days to resolve my problem I gave up and went back to IE6.  I 
would have thought MS had fixed such problems by now.  Apparently not.
